Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl has addressed Manuel Neuer’s future as the club consider offering the goalkeeper a new contract.
Neuer, who has been described as a “legendary” figure at Bayern, is approaching the final stage of his current deal, with the German champions weighing up fresh terms for the long-serving captain.
Speaking about the 38-year-old’s situation, Eberl stressed that standards at Bayern remain non-negotiable, even for a player of Neuer’s status. “He needs to be at his peak,” Eberl said, as he outlined the club’s position while talks continue.
Eberl made it clear that Bayern’s decision will be based on performance and reliability, with the club looking at what is best for the team moving forward.
The comments come with Bayern still assessing their options in goal, as they balance Neuer’s experience and leadership with planning for the future.
